TO ALL WHOMIT MAYCONCERN:

Beit known that I, PHILIP APENI'IIGrTON, of Union City, in the county of Randolph, and in the State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Churns and dd hereby declare that the following-is a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereot', reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the hletters of reference marked thereon.

' The nature of my invention consists in providing a churn with two horizontal arms, which have upright staves, with horizontal semcircular dashers attached to them, and which revolve in" opposite directions', and can be taken out and put in a-tpleasure.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation. Y V

In the'annexed drawings, forming part of this specification, A represents a tub or churn, which is provided with a standard or frame, B, on one side Between this frame B andthe churn A, two cogged Wheels, C C, revolve on two journals, a a, which have their bearings in the frame and in the churn, and extend into the churn,

where they tit into recesses or grooves, cfc, on the arms D D. In the other end of these armsare journals d d,

ing to the journals d d in the churn A, to operate as set forth,

which have their bearings in the opposite side of the churn. The arms DD are provid,ednrith upright staves F F, which have lsemicircular dashers, E E,a;ttached to them, which revolve with the arms, and make the butter. There may be as many staves and dashers as is desired. The arms D D are heldsecure on the ends of the journais a a by means of a slide, e, which turns over the recess or groove asshown in Figure 2, so that, when the butter is made, and it isdesired -to remove the dashers, it is only necessary/to open the slide e, when the arm D will slipoi` from the jour-mala, and the journal d will come out from the side of the churn., The crank, F, turns one of the wheels, C, and the wheels C C work in eachkother, so that the arms D D, .witht'heir staves F F, and dashers E E, will revolve in opposite directions. v

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

'lhe combination of the flashers E F on the movable arms D D, having recesses c c and slides e e, for secur- In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand, this 4th day of May, 1868.

. PHILIP 4 PENINGTON.
